Abstract

Better known for his multi‐award winning music, and a lifetime of jazz across all its genres, Conjuror reveals, not surprisingly, that Browne’s first poetry and music collection is strikingly vibrant and original.
The music compositions are based on 7 of the poems from the 92 pg book; each piece features Allan’s spoken words, sparingly integrated within or around the music.
Performed by The Allan Browne Sextet, compositions by Allan Browne, Eugene Ball, Marc Hannaford and Geoff Hughes, the Sextet also feature Nick Haywood and Phillip Noy.
This journal represents a Browne whom even his most loyal fans may never have met. Ever the raconteur, jazz and jazz musicians figure prominently, as do his family and the twists and turns of his fascinating journey.
